RiffTrax Shorts

We've all been there: enjoying a nice TV dinner of Swanson's "Slightly Bigger Than Bite Size" salisbury steak (seems irresponsible on their part frankly), when all of a sudden BOOM! The person across from the table starts choking and you really should know what to do in order to save their life. So watch this short, then do the exact opposite, and you should be fine.

A group of children, possibly detainees in a secret government prison, are put through a series of "exercises" meant to replicate the motions of common devices familiar to kids...like, y'know, an antique coffee grinder. But at least the motions...are also confusing and really dumb. Join Mike, Kevin, and Bill for the hallucinatory gym class fever of Perc! Pop! Sprinkle!

Our main protagonist is a Ginger Walrus who lands the big interview with a boss who is in no way overcompensating for his baldness by growing a ridiculous beard. Will our hero smooth talk his way into a dream job? Or will he mistakenly inform the delusional man interviewing him that he looks like the worst Wooly Willy variation imaginable in a suit. Join Mike, Kevin and Bill to find out!

You'll learn important lessons as you watch a narrator impose sentient thought on a bunch of drugged-up animals, but the true lesson of The Hare & The Tortoise is that you should study hard in school so you don't end up being the guy who has to clean up after the animals on the set of The Hare & The Tortoise.

Love That Car! is a short about automobile safety narrated in the style of the "nnnnnYEEES?" clerk guy you'll recognize from the Flintstones and the Simpsons. That sentence should really be all the convincing anyone needs to check this out immediately. Join us for Love That Car!, a swingin' trip back to the '60s: a time so free that everybody was gettin' some, even cars.

When two young boys steal a teenager's car and pick up a couple of girls for a high-speed drive up a mountain, what could go wrong? Well, yes, that. Exactly what you're thinking. But not before they have the time of their lives! Get "duded up" for some "hotshots" (actual slang you will learn in this short) then join Mike, Kevin, and Bill for a seatbelt-free, Kool-Aid soaked Joy Ride!

Not everyone respects the noble safety patrol, probably because disrespecting them is the logical and right thing to do. If our childhood were rap albums, Safety Patrols were the skits: annoying and omnipresent. So it's safe to say that your sympathies will lie with the kids who play ball in the street, rather than the pre-pubescent NARC (Jimmy) that tries to keep them from getting run over.

Farm Babies and their Mothers has a bunch of footage of cute baby animals running around. It has no educational content whatsoever. We think you'll agree that this is a perfectly acceptable trade off.
